[quote=Anonymous]NO, Burgundy kids do worksheets too-- but they ALSO spend a huge amount of time on experiential leaning. At Maury, where there are indeed plenty of affluent kids from educated families, the rigidity of the curriculum meant there was little space for teachers to experiment, do "fun" stuff, or deviate from the set curriculum. A Maury teacher told me the school literally tells the teachers what to do half hour by half hour, and virtually no teacher independence was permitted. This was a 30 year ACPS vet who was very sad about the lost freedom to experiment that accompanied NCLB. [/quote]
